7 more Ky. counties eligible for public assistance

Seven more Kentucky counties have been added to the disaster declaration for damage caused by the storms and tornadoes occurring Feb. 29 through March 3.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Ballard, Johnson, Kenton, Larue, Pendleton, Trimble and Wolfe counties are now eligible for public assistance.

Public assistance is available to state and local governments and certain nonprofits for the repair of damaged taxpayer-owned infrastructure like roads, bridges, utilities and schools.

In total, 14 Kentucky counties can now receive public assistance.

Another 21 Kentucky counties are eligible for individual assistance for homeowners and renters. That assistance includes grants to help pay for temporary housing and home repairs. It also includes low-interest loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration to cover residential and business losses not compensated by insurance.
